so actual information is bad and "3.5 trillion brain cells burned" is good? Hrm....yeah, I'm going to Steam approach and focus on features that matter to the user rather than pedantic code which serves nothing but the developers ego in a vast majority of cases.

I haven't had my morning coffee yet.

That's a piece of factual information for you, yet it has no bearing in this discussion.

Valve's revenue might be factual, but it also does very little to further this discussion. Valve has almost no effective competition, and people will put up with a lot of shit from them because of it — which makes their JS engineering practices largely unrelated to their revenue.

Yup, that's exactly the point. Focusing on pedantic js engineering practices will not effect their revenue, so hence, the developers do not focus on doing so.

your choice, it's your cells :) I would not want to dot that to my sanity.
